I enjoyed the art style, and her grandmothers story was especially intriguing, but the other parts of this memoir weren’t as strong for me.
The author is the daughter of a famous therapist.
This is a meld of her own coming of age memoir with her grandmother's WWII story. The drawing is a little scrawly for my taste, but I liked her experimentation and variety of page layouts. She has a couple of great maps and room layouts. It's pretty thick, but there are plenty of pages with few to no words.
Not especially memorable beyond the author's famous mother.

Book 139: Flying Couch: a Graphic Memoir by Amy Kurzweil
#graphicnoveloctober continues! Have you read a graphic novel yet? What are you waiting for?
Graphic Memoirs are becoming a favorite genre for me.
This book is the story of the author, her mother, and grandmother. The stories alternate back and forth, between WWII for her grandmother able to bring herself off as a gentile orphan, her mother a psychologist, and herself a budding Jewish artist.
The art was interesting in the book. The parts of the book about the grandmother in WWII were my favorite, the rest of the book was confusing in parts, and did not really appeal to me. My rating 3 ⭐.

Loved the stories about Bubbe, but the illustrations and page layout were sometimes difficult to follow.
